shinyFiles error on new version of MODIStsp

[dickoa]

Hi @lbusett

Thanks for this update and glad to see that shiny is replacing the gtk interface. I tried to test but got an error caused by shinyFiles when running MODIStsp() If you use the shinyFiles version <= 0.8 (the version in CRAN is 0.8) you have this error

shinyFiles::getVolumes()()
## Error: [ENOENT] Failed to search directory '/media': no such file or directory

packageVersion("shinyFiles") 
## ‘0.8’

using the development version on Github you don't have this error

shinyFiles::getVolumes()()
##  Computer 
##     "/" 

packageVersion("shinyFiles") 
## ‘0.8.0.9002’

Is it possible to enforce the version of the package currently in Suggest on the DESCRIPTION file i.e shinyFiles (> 0.8)

Thanks again for this great package Ahmadou

@dickoa

thanks for reporting this. This is probably platform specific, because I do not see the problem. Can you tell me which OS you are using?

Unfortunately, I can not specify requiring a GitHub version in a CRAN submission. However, it seems that you solved the problem already. Am I right?

I'll keep this open in case anyone stumbles on it.

Thanks @lbusett,

I'm using Arch (5.8.5 kernel) and I just realized that I didn't have/created/mounted a media folder in my install. Yes, I think it make sense to submit it as it is and people would be able to fix it using the dev version of shinyFiles in the meantime (before @thomasp85 and team submit to CRAN).

I updated the DESCRIPTION since shinyFiles 0.9.0 is now on CRAN.
